“Hit-And-Run Drivers Among Meanest Men’,” Toronto Star. April 4, 1941. Page 8. --- Toronto Motorist to Serve 20 Days in Jail, in Lieu of Fines --- SCORES BY BENCH ---- ‘One of the meanest things I know is for a man to get into an accident and then try to run away to avoid having to pay for it,’ declared Magistrate W. E. McIllveen in Etobicoke police court at Mimico yesterday. He sentenced Arvno Suomela, Spadina Ave., Toronto, to fines and costs totaling $45 on charges of careless driving and neglecting to return to the scene of an accident. A charge of drunk driving was dismissed.

‘Your chauffeur’s license will also be automatically cancelled for three months,’ the magistrate told Suomela.

‘Your worship,’ pleaded accused, ‘who was not presented by counsel, ‘it’s my only way of making a living. I have a wife and child, and it’s my birthday today.’

‘All right then, I’ll make the cancellation for only one month. That is for a birthday present,’ the bench assented.

Constable John Iceton said two cars had been side-swiped by accused’s car on Dundas St. west of Islington. ‘Suomela was too drunk to drive,’ he said. ‘When I locked him up, he started a commotion in the cell. Accused admitted having some wine earlier in the afternoon.

‘You went over a mile before you were stopped,’ Magistrate McIllveen observed, imposing a fine of $25 and costs for failing to return, and an additional $10 and costs for careless driving. Alternative in both cases was 10 days. Suomela said he would take the jail term of 20 days and was allowed the six days he had already spent in custody.

Some doodles of the akuma that'll be appearing in Trickster's next chapter. Their name is never mentioned but they do have a name and it's Traffeur.

The whole chapter is already drafted, but my editing speed is so erratic and irregular (not to mention, I change my mind all the time, I re-rewritten the original beginning for this chapter who knows how many times before scrapping it and taking another approach) that I can't say for sure when I'll be satisfied enough with it to post it.

Maybe I'll be able to do it before the end of the week? I'm in a creative frenzy right now, but that doesn't mean I'm always physically creating something, it just means my brain can't stop thinking (and daydreaming. So many daydreams) about it, so who knows!!

"Reformatory Term For Forging $2,694 In Gov't Cheques," Ottawa Journal. March 4, 1943. Page 1 & 12. ---- Joseph Alfred Ernest Robert, 26, of 1 McGee street, a chauffeur at the National Research Council, was sentenced to two years less one day definite and six months indefinite in the reformatory by Deputy Magistrate Sauve this morning after pleading guilty to 24 separate charges.

The charges included those of forging Government cheques, cashing the forged cheques and the theft of cheques. The total face value of the cheques was $2,894.65 and all but one, worth $199.85, were cashed.

In imposing the sentence Deputy Magistrate Sauve said he had considered all aspects of the case carefully. "Some people seem to think that stealing from the Government is not as serious as stealing from an individual. This is false. However, I do not intend to be severe with Robert because I am convinced he is not a criminal - though I am impressed by the large amount of funds he stole and misappropriated".

Auguste Lemieux, K.C., appeared as a special prosecutor for the Department of Justice, and Jean T. Richard was counsel for Robert. Two weeks ago, Robert admitted 13 forgery charges. Today he admitted 11 other charges which were laid against him a week ago. All charges concern the stealing, forging and cashing of cheques.
